AIRDIF: A Two-Dimensional Atmospheric Radiation Diffusion Computer Code.

Abstract

This report contains a user's guide for the AIRDIF code. AIRDIF is a computer code which employs a special form of diffusion theory to compute free field radiation environments from atmospheric nuclear detonations. The code may be run in either homogeneous air or 2-D variable density air. In addition to environments, AIRDIF is also capable of computing K-Factors, defined to be the ratio of the 2-D 4 pi sq r variable density air dose to the 1-D mass integral scaled dose, for a particular source, dose response function, and at a number of mass ranges.
